Most likely a fuel line that has failed as a result of modern fuels with high levels of methanol. Given the age of the unit I'd expect that fuel is either leaking from a cracked fuel line or directly from the carburetor because one of the rubber diaphragms has been destroyed by new fuel. PS. never leave fuel in the unit over the winter or for extended periods of time. Try to run it out or drain the tank.

SOURCE: 2006 yamaha waverunner wont idle

what is it idle at? how much? remove your seat check air filter if is black oily remove it and see if that fixes your problem you may want to change your spark plugs as well # one cylinder may be starting to foul the new yamahas are the worst for fouling plugs use a cr8eb instead of the cr9eb the 8s are hotter and work better try those and let me know thank you

SOURCE: 1997 yamaha waverunner 3

My 97 gp760 did this. I checked almost everything. Replace or clean your plugs, then run carb cleaner through your fuel filter both ways, and then spray carb cleaner into the fuel line from the fuel filter to the carbs. Run 10 minutes, more carb cleaner into the fuel line, and run it 15 more minutes. Then zip tie fuel lines at the fuel filter. I figure there was trash or buildup in the carb. Its easier than rebuilding the carb. Try it. Daniel at the MEXPIPE Pto Escondido Oaxaca.

SOURCE: DI have a 1991 waverunner 3 - having a problem

The bearing housing and shaft are pressed into the housing.Located behind your engine. The bearing housing has set pins ,if you removed the 3 bolts and move the engine forward the rear housing will come out. Im not sure if this helps with your problem ,Im not sure what you are refering to as intake duct. Hope this helps.

What is the size and year model of my yamaha waverunner the hull id # yama31321394

Yamaha did not make the GP model until 97 and if the numbers you posted are correct you have a 94, that being said all yamahas up until 93 were either a 500 or a 650 so im guessing its not a superjet which is a standup so you may have a waverunner 3, Raider, Blaster, or a wave runner LX. What colors are on it? does it have twin carbs? there will also be a sticker on the engine cases noting engine size.

Yamaha xl1200 waverunner losses power after it is warmed up.

Hi, most likely cause and the easiest to check is exhaust leaking in the engine compartment. Run it without the seat fitted for the same time frame and if it fixes your problem you are looking for an exhaust leak. Regards Phil.

1989 yamaha waverunner. I purchased a 1989 25HP Yamaha Waverunner & was wondering how you check the engine oil?

Did you get any instructions from the previous owner? If it's a 4 stroke waverunner there will be a dipstick on the engine block, but I'm guessing it's probably a 2 stroke engine because most watercraft used 2 stroke motors clear through the 1990's. The oil will be mixed with the gasoline when you fill it, bottles of 2 stroke oil can be purchased at most stores that carry oil. Your waverunner can be mixed at 50:1, which equals out to be 2.6 oz of oil per gallon of gasoline. On a 2 stroke engine the engine gets lubrication from the oil mixed with fuel and will burn up fast if straight gasoline is used. Let me know if you have any troubles, but try to get ahold of the previous owner to get some more info.
